May the Shirt Be With You

A few weeks ago I submitted these two tshirt designs for a Star Wars tshirt contest with the theme “Darkside”. For whatever reason the 8-bit design was rejected (maybe it was a little TOO similar to Megaman 2?), but the Jengo/Boba design ended up winning the Staff Pick award. I really had a lot of fun making both of them. I like the idea of Jengo and Boba as a father/son type image and the Slave ships as kites was perfect! The 8-bit one took forever so it’s too bad it didn’t even get into the running (plus it would make a really awesome shirt!).
